Orchids to

the Homelessness Initiative, a partnership among United Way of Bartholomew County, the City of Columbus, and other community organizations for making good progress.

Onions to

the expensive restaurant that made us wait an hour for our food.

those continually posting dictator comments referring to our duly elected president, who disregard the democratic process that put him in office.

the new requirement for citizenship, will the POTUS be the paragon of good moral character to measure up to?

the Washington, D.C. illegal military occupation that is estimated to cost up to $1 million a day, why not use that money to house the homeless?

the fascist dictator in the White House who now wants to take away mail-in voting, even though under the Constitution, he can’t.

the Indiana AG for continuing to waste taxpayers’ money to defend his untenable misconduct.

the Israeli military assault on Gaza and daily Russian missile strikes in Ukraine, obviously nobody is interested in a ceasefire, let alone peace.

our leader suggesting Ukraine should attack Russia, what kind of Nobel Peace Prize plan is that?

the local business for not mowing their grass.

the National Guard troops helping our fascist president demonize the effort that they’d normally put in to help American people.

the U.S. not having money for Medicaid, but it does have money for a $300 million ballroom to be built at the White House.
